Noooo. My fam doc only referred me when my CRP was 33.6. I told him I was scared by this and finally he referred me. Had neurologist phone call appt. and we did some blood work on the 21st. Then he went away for the holiday. Hopefully next week I will be able to start some prednisone. It's been almost 5 months with this pain, but unfortunately nobody would actually listen to what I was telling them. Family doc, ER docs 2X. I felt totally unheard, until this doctor called me and said it sounds like PMR. I'm like "thank you" finally. Someone hears me.
